Syllabus

Week 1: Your Dream House
Create a simple scale model for your dream house.

Week 2: Models OF & Models FOR
Create and present a 3D digital model of your scale model by using photogrammetry.

Week 3: Scale & Context
Create a simple scale model of the setting of your dream house and make a 360-degree background image.

Week 4: Scale & Detail
Create a simple CAD model for a detail of your dream house and present it with annotations.

Week 5: The Whole Picture
Develop a presentation blog with images and an embedded 3D model or a link to your online 3D model.

Week 6: Your Model Exhibition
Pose questions to your fellow learners. Take on the role of the client, while they serve as the architects – and the other way around.

Though all six steps may sound challenging, the course instructions will guide you through and build your confidence.

You will need some simple tools like scissors, glue and scrap materials. To develop the digital models, we selected free software that runs on a laptop or desktop computer. You will also need a smartphone with a camera.
